We just tested the AMPED 2400 stereo amplifier, which claims to be made in the USA despite using Pascal OEM Class D modules that source parts globally. Our bench tests of this $6K amp—rated at 800 W per channel into 4 ohms—show it doesn’t quite reach its claimed power. Featuring a proprietary...

Not sure class D will work. I know anthem’s will

I've been very tempted by an Apollon model to try out a higher end class D amp. I'm quite happy with my new Musical Fidelity M6 PRX class AB power amp and the sound it produces though. The Appollon isn't hugely expensive but it's still a large chunk of change for something "just to try" and...

You wanted the Bryston class A/B amps with 20YR warranty, but they were not cost-effective. So you went with the much more cost-effective class-D option that still gave you excellent measurement.

Yeah. I can’t blame anyone for feeling the same. I am very disappointed.

Getting one of those Buckaroo class D amps is equivalent to say a Corolla. Where's a Bryston class D is equivalent to a Mercedes.:cool:.

Although the Bryston cost a lot more than the Purifi and Hypex amps, there may be exceptions but in most installations, with comparable amp power ratings, you shouldn't hear any difference in SQ between them, but perhaps enjoy possession pride.

I think that is likely beyond your budget. If you listen at a lower volume, that will solve your issue and cost nothing. Every time you advance your volume 3db. your are doubling the power required of your receiver.

Good to hear.

...already won. That’s not to mention a premium case and 20 year warranty. I think Bryston hit it out of the park . This thing really needs to go on a bench test as these specs are ridiculous in the dynamic range and absolutely crush other class D amps, most have very little dynamic range above...

This and near infinite crossover slopes will allow designers so much flexibility. Genelec and Neumann have it down to an exact science.

An alternate to the Class D amps could also be the QSC DCA Series power amps for long term reliability and parts availability. Their aesthetic appearance is not as good as on some Class D cabinets however. But as a matter of fact, these products which carry only a 2 year warranty, were released...

If SINAD is the only thing that matters to the individual, then I bet there are cheaper alternatives like the Chinese amps. Just like if FR is the only that matters, then there are cheaper alternatives to high-end speakers. I bet Chinese speakers can have great FR too. There’s an amp and...

I have it right. Even if you add those amps, it won't change the Quiescent current. Each amp with no speaker connection will still draw 40 watts. My point is that spending money on those amps will achieve nothing, absolutely nothing significant. If you really want to make a difference then...

Why not the Topping B100 that tested top in the test you linked and is $300? Even still, I'm thinking even cheaper, like the Fosi v3 lol

My comment isn't to be taken seriously. Lol. Really! Both, Buckeye/Bryston class d amps are very well built. I myself have no need for any class added amp. My A1080 only drives 5.1 set fits my need. After reading Gene's comment, I clicked that link he provided, as usual Gene seems to be...

Not sure I buy this analogy. Instead, think of the entire system as the car, and the amps as the engines, so the better analogy would be a couple of Mercedes but one with an LS engine wap. That seems to do more justice to the Buckey amps. They're good at what they do. Really, really good.

...at Buckeye amps for use of Hypex N Core modules. I don't "listen" to amps, tho, they shouldn't have a sound.... ps meant to mention I use some Crown class D amps that have been fine for many years (2 XLS1500s I got in '11, 2 XLS1500s I got in '13, and added a used XLS2502 about 10 years...

Do you have a preference and why, if so?

If based on bench test measurements, none of those class D amps beat the Benchmark AHB2, except the Bryston's have not been tested so being class D, they may have a chance, as some higher model Purifi amps have managed to do on some test benches. For class AB amps, last time I checked, the...
